Puntuación: 62.0Sugerencia: Покращте природність та структуру відповіді: почніть з короткої прямої відповіді, уникайте повторів і використовуйте принаймні одне аргументоване пояснення з логічними зв'язками. Також виправте граматику (наприклад, «I have never ridden a bike»). Намагайтеся обмежитися максимумом 4–5 речень і використати зв’язні слова, як-от «because» або «so».
Ejemplo: No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child. I never learned to ride because my parents always preferred walking or using public transport, so I didn’t get the chance. As a result, I’m still not confident riding a bike now.

Puntuación: 70.0Sugerencia: Зробіть відповідь більш чіткою та граматично правильною: уникати повторів («they they»), використовуйте зв’язки для пояснення, додайте конкретний приклад або деталь (наприклад, кількість велосипедних доріжок або ситуацію, коли люди використовують велосипеди). Використовуйте 3–4 речення, щоб відповідь була природною й лаконічною.
Ejemplo: Yes, bikes are very popular in my country. Many people use them for daily commuting because cities have numerous dedicated bike lanes. For example, in my city there are long bike paths that make cycling a convenient way to get to work or school.
× Actually, no, I have never had a bike as a child.
✓ Actually, no, I never had a bike as a child.
Use past simple for a completed period in the past ('as a child'). 'Have never had' (present perfect) connects past to present, but the question refers to a time in the past (childhood), so use past simple 'never had'. Suggestion: Use past simple for finished past time expressions (e.g., 'as a child').
× I'm the only person in my surrounding who can't ride a bike at all.
✓ I'm the only person in my surroundings who can't ride a bike at all.
Plural 'surroundings' is the correct noun for the people/environment around someone. 'Surrounding' (singular) is not correct in this context. Suggestion: Use 'surroundings' when referring to the people or environment around you.
× I've never had a ridden a bike.
✓ I've never ridden a bike.
The present perfect construction uses 'have' + past participle. 'Had ridden' is incorrect here; the student wrote 'have had a ridden' which is ungrammatical. Use 'I've never ridden a bike.' Suggestion: Use 'have/has' + past participle (e.g., 'have ridden').
× Yes, of course they they are.
✓ Yes, of course they are.
Duplicate word 'they' is a simple repetition error; remove the extra 'they'. Suggestion: Read aloud to catch repeated words.
× We have a lot of like bike roads my city and it's a very popular way to get to some point in my city.
✓ We have a lot of bike lanes in my city and it's a very popular way to get around the city.
Several issues: 'bike roads' is unnatural; 'bike lanes' or 'cycle paths' are common. Missing preposition 'in my city' between noun and place; 'get to some point in my city' is awkward—use 'get around the city'. Also filler 'like' is unnecessary. Suggestion: Use 'in my city' after the noun and prefer 'bike lanes' or 'cycle paths'; say 'get around the city' for general mobility.
× I know plenty of people who really enjoy riding a bike.
✓ I know plenty of people who really enjoy riding bikes.
'Riding a bike' is not strictly wrong, but 'riding bikes' is more natural when speaking generally about many people. This is a minor preference in present habitual context. Suggestion: Use plural 'bikes' for general statements about people.
